Fenofibric Acid is prescribed as a tablet to be taken orally, with or without food, depending on your doctor’s instructions, once a day. Swallow the capsules whole. Do not crush, break, or chew the capsules as doing so can release all the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Your dose is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
If you are taking certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol such as bile acid-binding resins, take fenofibric acid at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after taking these medications. These drugs can bind to fenofibric acid, preventing your body from fully absorbing the drug.
To get the most benefit from this medication, take it regularly at the same time each day. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your cholesterol/triglycerides level will not lower faster, and you may increase the risk of side effects. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. It may take up to 2 months before you get the full benefit of this medication.
Remember to also follow your doctor’s advice about diet and exercise to further support the medication’s effectiveness.
